Every country has its own unique which makes it different with the other countries. The differences in cultures, ethnics and geography, lead countries to have their own habits, including in foods. Every place has its own traditional food which indicates its advantages. Unfortunately, nowadays, people would rather to be more practice to support their daily activities. In many countries, traditional foods are being replaced by fast food. Some people argue that this has a negative impact on families, individuals, and society. This essay will explain my point of view about this issue and how to deal with it.
As a foodie, I agree with that statement. In my opinion, traditional foods not only a food that we eat, but they play an important role in development of tourism and economy. On one hand, each country is well-known for its cuisine, for example, pizza in Italy and taco in Mexico. This can be a tourist attraction, so that people will visit their country, and grow their economy indirectly. On the other hand, replacing traditional food with fast food is a big failure. Not only can it decrease economic aspects, but it also has a negative impact on health. Junk foods are made by unhealthy ingredients and processed in an unhealthy way too, in contrast to traditional food, which is more natural. Eating junk food for a long time can affect individuals’ healthy, and if it wasn’t controlled, it can affect society indirectly.
This issue must be fixed by both government and ourselves. Government need to make a regulation to control the number of fast food restaurants. It must be balance or even we give an opportunity to traditional restaurants for expanding their businesses. Also, this is our responsibility to keep our own cultures still preserved and well-known out there. If not us, then who?
